The Los Angeles City Council has just approved the first step in our plan to replace LAPD with a community-based, unarmed emergency responders for non-violent calls for service. This is the dawn of a new era of public safety in Los Angeles.

Figueroa St. will soon be Kobe Bryant Blvd. between Olympic & MLK. Kobe’s legacy is bigger than basketball. #KobeBryantBlvd will be a reminder to everyone, young and old who drive down it, there is no obstacle too big and that with the #Mambamentality  , anything is possible.

The presenters from @BLMALA , @WeBldPwr , @LAVoice with #PeoplesBudgetLA were absolutely right, we need to reimagine public safety in the 21st century. One which reduces the need for armed police presence, especially when the situation does not necessarily require it.

We’ve given this responsibility to law enforcement but, more often than not, in non-emergencies they may not be best equipped to safely handle the situation. These calls need to be directed to workers with specialized training who are better equipped to handle the situation.

📍You have a chance to now stand at the intersection of Hope and Justice. Take a drive down #ObamaBlvd and see the new signs for yourself! 🙌🏾 #CD10

Rallied with @flyLAXairport TSA officers today in calling for an end to the federal government shutdown. These Angelenos work tirelessly to keep us safe, and it is a disgrace that they are not being paid.

A few thoughts on the signs put up around our city recently: 1) Govt. assistance is a federal program administered by the state NOT city 2) "Illegal aliens"... seriously? 3) Potholes can be easily fixed by calling @MyLA311 Friends don't let friends fall victim to #fakenews .
